One of the most talked about books in the Jewish community when it originally appeared Remix
Judaism: Preserving Tradition in a Diverse World offers an eloquent and thoughtful new vision
for all Jews seeking a sense of belonging in a changing world regardless of their current
level of observance. Roberta Kwall sets out a process of selection rejection and modification
of rituals that allow for a focus on Jewish tradition rather than on the technicalities of
Jewish law. Her goal is not to sell her own religious practices to readers but rather to
encourage them to find their own personal meaning in Judaism outside the dictates of
Commandment by broadening their understanding of how law culture and tradition fit together.
She inspires readers to be intentional and mindful about the space they allocate for these
elements in defining their individual Jewish journeys and identities. The paperback edition
includes a new preface addressing recently released findings including the Pew Report on the
American Jewish Community exploring the challenges of practicing Judaism today.
